It was one of the sleepiest games you’ll ever watch, and in the end the Calgary Flames found the back of the net more than the LA Kings did in the shootout. Miikka Kiprusoff stopped two LA shooters and Olli Jokinen and Mike Cammalleri both scored to give the Flames the shootout win. Kings captain [...]
The San Jose Sharks capitalized on two of three shootout attempts to seal a come-from-behind, 2-1 win over the Calgary Flames tonight. Both Michael Handzus and Brent Burns beat Miikka Kiprusoff, while Antti Niemi stopped Jarome Iginla and Michael Cammalleri in the shootout. After a scoreless first period, Chris Butler finally found the back of [...]
The Flames have been a force to reckon with at the Scotiabank Saddledome winning their last eight straight at home. With only 3 points between the L.A. Kings and the Flames, Saturday’s game was no doubt a tough loss to swallow, giving up 3 easy goals in the 2nd even after consistent pressure for the [...]
After 61 minutes of scoreless hockey, Blair Jones scored his first goal in a Flames uniform to give Calgary the 1-0 overtime win over the visiting Anaheim Ducks tonight. The win extends the Flames home win streak to 8 games. Jones capitalized on a rebound and chipped a backhander over Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller to [...]
The Calgary Flames jumped out to a 4-0 first period lead and hung on for a 6-3 win against the visiting New Jersey Devils tonight. It was a fitting win to top off a night that celebrated Jarome Iginla’s 500th NHL goal in a pre-game ceremony with Lanny McDonald and Craig Conroy. Calgary’s captain assisted [...]
Jarome Iginla has had a 500lb monkey on his back for the past few games. He shed that monkey at 8:33 of the third period tonight when he scored the 500th goal of his NHL career to lead the Calgary Flames to a 3-1 win over the visiting Minnesota Wild. While breaking in on the [...]
Jarome Iginla scored his 497th career goal in the second period and added an assist on Curtis Glencross’ first period goal to lead the Flames to a 2-1 win against the Minnesota Wild tonight. It seems that Iggy likes playing the Wild as he has scored 33 career goals against the Wild, more than any [...]
Stephen Weiss scored the only goal in the 4th round of the shootout to give the Florida Panthers a 3-2 shootout win over the visiting Calgary Flames tonight. The shootout loss foiled Leland Irving’s attempt to get his first win in his first NHL start, but he shouldn’t be upset with how he played. Sean [...]
Quality scoring chances add up, but are not enough for the Flames as Nashville finds a way to squeeze an extra past Kipper, in the 3rd, to make it a 2-1 win. The low-scoring was set by two battling Fins for a win, and with two outstanding butterfly saves before the first 10 minutes, it [...]
I can’t remember the last time I saw a hockey game that featured 13 goals. I also can’t remember the last time that an empty net goal was the game winner, especially when that empty netter gave the winning team a 3-goal lead. But such was the case in this crazy game as the Calgary [...]
The Calgary Flames struck first, but the Vancouver Canucks countered with 5 unanswered goals to win the second match of the season 5-1.

The Calgary Flames survived an early two-goal deficit and came back to steal a 5-3 win in the Battle of Alberta tonight.
